[Fawksau]

[ikaayo]

[MrMashedpotatoesinc]

it looks painful to play this!!

[96scar]

I love this. Just to point it out... The guy's hair on the left is all bouncy. :D

[Epogdous]

Great job on rhythm and accents. Bravissimi.

[PhantomV13]

Truly magnificent, most appreciated music and pianists. I believe I rather the piano version to the orchestra one to a certain extend; the piano expresses excellently this piece, and brings out much colour and feelings of 'magic' at some points, all served classy, bravo.

[greenlegsandspam]

Astounding. imagine the ages of practice it must have taken to get that perfect.

[katalinkelemen]

this is simply bloody awesome.... does anybody know if these performances (and the other ones from the same concert I guess) are available on video DVD?! I've been looking for them for like ages but found nothing...

[dkronst]

Amazingly performed. Loved it!

[rockarcano]

[EtrofOnaip]

Beautiful played - I only knew the version for 1 piano (by Victor Staub) Do these giants also play Lutosławski's Paganini - Variations ?

By the way - also good recording & filming !

[fondamentateam]

@EtrofOnaip : :)))))) Thanks for both things !

[tomaltus]

Beautiful. And perfect. Wow.

i think part of why this song is considered complicated is because of the instrumentation; it is much harder to play some of these licks on, say, the trumpet or even string instruments. i'm not saying that this would be easy to do on piano, but for a professional piano player who went through their graduate program and everything it would be considerably easier to do than the professional orchestral players. or at least it just feels that way. i'm not dogging on them, though. this is awesome!

@CaptainConnorsaurus

No not necessarily. When you arrange some thing from one instrumental form to another (e.g orchestra to piano) the idiomatics that go with the original instrumentation become more confining when on another, certain interval stretches, having to balance on voice in part of the left hand against another in the same hand etc. 

[DCTheGuitarist]

@CaptainConnorsaurus (contin)

Plus each pianist is playing larger parts of the harmony at the same time, so they are having to do more in terms of certain melodic voices, than an orchestral member would have to do.

That all said yeah any pianist that can play as well as these guys should find it easier that something like Rachmaninoffs 3rd piano Concerto

[slibbing123]

pff! easy.

[C3P0meetsData]

The guy on the left looks like John Oliver from the Daily Show with John Stewart.

[pengy94]

[mrp1kles]

[lineaadicional]

Great music!

Yo conocí a Kobrine en Moscú, trabaja en el instituto Gnessin. Es un pianista muy serio. Y lo mejor de todo es que es sencillo, creo.
